Wednesday, 20 July
10am PT / 1pm ET / 5pm UT - Monthly Speaker Series: The Invention Cycle - @ Mozilla Mountain View + Air Mozilla
“Those who can imagine anything can create the impossible.” -- Alan Turing
Do you struggle with brainstorming new ideas? Coming up with new solutions?
Bringing fresh ideas to life and ultimately to market is not a well charted course. In July, our guest Tina Seelig will share a new model, the Invention Cycle, that taps into our innate capabilities of imagination and creativity to help us innovate better. Tina’s framework captures the attitudes and actions necessary to foster innovation and to bring breakthrough ideas to the world.
We’ll also be joined by a group of mozillians who recently spent a half day working with Tina; they'll share how these learnings have translated directly into their roles at mozilla: David Bialer, David Bryant, Jean Gong, Jet Villegas, Martin Best, Greg Jost, Rosana Ardila, Tim Murray, Jen Bertsch, Rina Jensen and Sandip Kamat.
- Host: Rina Jensen
- Questions: Submit questions during the event on IRC #AirMozilla.
- Hashtag: #mozSS
- Speaker:
Tina is passionate about creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. As Professor of the Practice in the department of Management Science and Engineering, faculty director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, and a founding member of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school) at Stanford School of Engineering, she works with others who embrace the idea that entrepreneurs do much more than imaginable with much less than seems possible.
After earning her Ph.D. from Stanford University Medical School in Neuroscience, Tina has worked as a management consultant, multimedia producer, and was the founder of a multimedia company. She’s also written 17 books and educational games, including The Epicurean Laboratory and Incredible Edible Science, published by Scientific American; and a series of card games, called Games for Your Brain, published by Chronicle Books. Her newest books, published by HarperCollins are What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 (2009), inGenius: A Crash Course on Creativity (2012), and Insight Out (2015).
She’s been honored to receive significant recognition of her work, including the Gordon Prize from the National Academy of Engineering, the National Olympus Innovation Award, the SVForum Visionary Award, and several university teaching awards.

The limit is 3 minutes per topic. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation.

This Week
Ari Jaaksi, SVP of Connected Devices
Topic
"From consumer products to platforms; IoT @ Connected Devices"
Assumption: IoT leads the way to the next phase of the Internet. As Mozillians, we want everyone to fully benefit from this next phase. For that, we believe the nascent IoT must be both secure for users and truly interoperable and open.
